In order for the Group Markers to work properly there is a few things you do.
Group markers are dependent on the group ID for a group.
Setup group variable names
Before a group ID can be set firstly we must ensure that we have a variable that contains the targeted group.
For every unit in the group ensure there is init box there is something like. This ensures that the group variable is set.
GrpNATO_<groupName> = group this;
The general format is:
- GrpNATO for NATO/blufor
- GrpFIA for FIA/blufor
- GrpCSAT for CSAT/redfor
- GrpAAF for AAF/indfor
Setup group ID
A group ID is the text name of a group, it is used whenever a name for the group is needed such as in the ORBAT/Spectator scripts. To edit the groupID head to the file in your mission folder f/setGroupID/f_setGroupIDs.sqf
In this script you will find a list of all the groups and text name e.g.
["GrpNATO_ASL","NATO ASL"], ["GrpNATO_A1","NATO A1"], ["GrpNATO_A2","NATO A2"], ["GrpNATO_A3","NATO A3"],
To add a new group use the same group variable you used. Note that in later steps the last word of the group ID is used to get the marker style (e.g. ASL or A1).
